John McAfee is now basically offering $20m to hack his wallet

The ‘unhackable’ BitFi wallet saga takes another turn, as John McAfee ups the ante…

The saga of the BitFi wallet, that was billed as “unhackable” by John McAfee, rumbles on. That comes even after BitFi itself has withdrawn the ‘unhackable’ claim, and the $250,000 bounty that had been offered to anyone who was able to withdraw funds held in three named specific wallets.

But even following that, John McAfee has come out fighting again, and now insists that the hack behind the latest reported attack on the wallet is “all talk”. In fact, he’s gone further than that, calling the hacker in question a “coward”, “wannabe” and “publicity hound”.

Fruity language is about to come up in the following Tweet, where McAfee effectively offered the one individual hacker in question the some of $20m to hack his account…

To the gentleman who claims to have Hacked the BitFi wallet: I say he is a publicity hound who is all talk. Here is my personal challenge. I promise he is too much of a coward to accept. He is only a wannabe hacker. He knows he cannot do it. Are you listening asshole? pic.twitter.com/spj3NJzVVv

The hacker in question reportedly, as per McAfee’s next Tweet, declined the challenge that had been put forward…

BitFi offered $100,000 to anyone who could take the coins from its factory wallet. Hackers complained it was too little, and why should they have to buy the wallet. It increased to $250,000. No takers. I’m now offering $20 mil to one fraudulent hacker – @cybergibbons He refused.
